During the last several days we have been working on creating short films for next year's kindergarten class, showing appropriate ways of being in specific situations.  Our emphasis has been on playground expectations and expectations when riding the bus.  These clips will be extremely helpful for me to show my class next year- showing tends to be much more powerful than telling.  The process has also served as an excellent reminder for this year's class as they have brainstormed and acted out these expectations!

Today everyone had an opportunity to create something with the paper we recently made.  Some children chose to use their paper as covers for journals, while others chose to use them as backgrounds for paintings.   Several children decided the paper was lovely art on its own and decided to just keep it as it is!
